What are the characteristics of China culture reflected in the concept of the emblem, mascot and China tube of the Shanghai World Expo?

The emblem of China 20 10 Shanghai World Expo is modeled on the calligraphy creativity of China's Chinese character "Shi". The number "stone" means that three people hug each other with their arms, which looks like a happy family, and can also be abstracted as a generalized human being of "you, me and him". They pursue a beautiful and harmonious life and express the "understanding, communication, gathering and cooperation" of the World Expo.

The name of the mascot of China 20 10 Shanghai World Expo is "Haibao", which means "the treasure of the four seas". The name "Haibao" is catchy, echoing the color of his body and conforming to the auspicious appellation principle of China folk customs. The name "Haibao" is closely related to the image of the mascot, which means good luck. Haibao is the image ambassador of China 20 10 Shanghai World Expo. The creative idea with the Chinese character "human" as the core not only embodies the cultural characteristics of China, but also echoes the design concept of the emblem of the Shanghai World Expo. It is an innovation to take the lead in using characters as mascots in the design of international large-scale events. The structure of the word "people" supporting each other also reveals the idea that a better life depends on you and me. Only when people all over the world support each other and live in harmony with nature, society and people can such a city make life better.

"The crown of the East, the prosperity of China, the granary of the world and the state of enriching the people", China's rich and diverse elements have brought a strong visual impact to China Pavilion, and China Pavilion is the crystallization of China's wisdom. The spatial combination order of China Pavilion consists of two parts, namely "rules" and "society", both of which originated from the prototype of traditional urban architecture in China. "Rules" originated from the ritualized space of traditional buildings in China. It is the origin of the spatial order of the Forbidden City that people's walking is introduced into the central symmetrical spatial pattern symbolizing nature, thus making a single space evolve into a spatial sequence with a sense of hierarchy and progress. Hui originated from the non-ritualized space of traditional architecture in China. People's visual and auditory experience endows the seemingly disordered natural landscape with structural order, and makes the natural space sublimate into the natural essence of human culture, which is the spatial order of Jiangnan gardens. The China Pavilion scheme combines these two modes, and introduces different modes of human activities between the central symmetric space of the national pavilion and the plane extension space of the regional pavilion. On the one hand, it bears the essence of China traditional culture with a long history; on the other hand, it shows the theme of "Better City, Better Life". China Pavilion, which combines the "old" and "new" styles, shoulders many missions.
